Good morning,
Can anyone help me understand why the following two console commands each
produce output, but only one of them produces output when both are called in a
shell script?
$ /bin/echo "Shell: $SHELL"
Shell: /bin/bash
$ /bin/echo "Random: $RANDOM"
Random: 29707
$ cat output.sh
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "Shell: $SHELL"
/bin/echo "Random: $RANDOM"
$ sh output.sh
Shell: /bin/bash
Random:
Why is there no output from the call to $RANDOM in the script?
Thanks,
Nelson
